WHAT JUDGE GARY THINKS.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. THE scheme to
furnish Lingg with bombs was carefully
planned by his outside friends. Several
days ago q fancy soap box was brought to
the Jail and just row In the heat OF the
excitement the officials say they cannot
remember who delivered it. This box
was examined in careless manner and
q deputy remembers having handled it
pretty roughly. 1t WAS filed with
dsinties. 1t was in the same box under
meath false bottom that the four bombs
were found closely packed.
Judge Gary who sentenced the aDsrch-
lists said to an Associated Press reporter
this morning: 81 regard Liugg es the

up the building and kill as many people
as possible. The fact that he
had armed himself with four of the dead

1t was learned last night for the first
time that Governor Oglesby has, within
the past few days, received several COM

One Of the anonymous letters dated
from Chicago is ssld to boldly
tbrearen the Governor with death
insease he permits the anarchists to be
hanged. Governor Oglesby has endeav-
ored TO keep this news from reaching the
ears of his family, as he desired to spare
them all alarm. The first of these threat
ening epistles was received some days
ago and was the cause of the Governor
i6eciding to refuse persons access to the
correspondence ard petitions in the an
archist cases. It has been daily remarked
by friends of Governor Oglesby that ever
since executive clemency becsme the
last resort of the anarc hists the Governor
has worn somewhat careWorn and spx-

not coward it is row thought the re-

responsibility has produced this eltera-
